Lyrics Afternoon - Molly Gordon feat. Colton Ryan, Alice By Heart Original Cast Recording Company & Duncan Sheik

A little talk could hold me for a little while
Another brush of whiskers and that distant smile
So little life remaining and the shadows won't contain me
The book of night is closing for the child

I knew you were a strange girl or I thought you were
You mustered all the wonder from a room of hurt
We knew the world of summer
Like a sister, like a brother
And the melodies were sweeter left unheard

We fell down a hole (hole)
Don't you remember (remember)
We fell so fall below (below)
And never found the center

Another word or two (two)
And all the summer knew (knew)
In the song of the afternoon (afternoon)
Afternoon

You never play September in a winter game
The heart will not remember what it will not name
The caterpillar gazes on a world of older faces
But the butterflies go floating all the same

We fell down a hole (hole)
Won't you remember?
Fell so fall below (below)
We never found the center

And who knew what to do
With all I felt for you
In the song of the afternoon
Afternoon
